Week 3

Well it is the beginning of my 3rd week of new year goals

I don't think I ever made it this far logging calories ~  I am still at it. Yeah!

I have been eating pretty good with the occasional goodie... however I am not going over my calories so that makes me feel good.
I can still eat what I want without eliminating things ~ this is awesome

We went out to eat twice since starting this program

Once to Ruby Tuesday and once to Sonic and both times I was very cautious of what I ate but still enjoyed what I wanted

I am finding that if I know I am going out to eat that particular evening I will eat lighter during the day.

I know that this concept is so obvious to most people however it is a light bulb moment for me because I realize now that this is something I need to be aware of

So the day we went to Ruby ~ I had an orange and a fiber bar and peanut butter on high fiber bread and milk

So for dinner I was able to treat myself to a fruit tea, salad bar (lots of veggies), white bean chili and chips without feeling guilty

Food for me has been a relationship

Some people call their best friend ... I eat chips

Or ... I did eat chips for MANY years and many extra pounds

Now I log my calories and blog... notice an increase LOL

Oh and I put on my jeans and instead of being out of the dryer tight... they feel like I wore them all day... right out of the dryer
~~~~~~~~~~~

Still no intentional exercise however I will NOT feel guilty about this.
I am finding more energy during the day so I am thrilled!

~~~~~~~~~~~

I am still reading Nicholas Sparks books at a rate of 1 book every 2 days...
I read really FAST~!

Still giving my book report to the hubs too!

The basement is done!
Well my part is done... now we need to paint the walls and floor and get a new work surface and hang peg board and add shelving and...
At any rate... my part is done... pics will come sooner than later!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trying to be positive... even though it is difficult with personal stuff and local stuff and international stuff
That is where I look to God and ask him for His will to be done

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am also doing good with our bedroom and have added new lamps and some accessories... it is so cozy and is becoming what I wanted it to be!
Pics of that soon too!
